Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Reinstsilicium, das als Grundmaterial für elektrische Halbleitergeräte geeignet ist, bei dem das Silicium durch chemische Umsetzung aus einer gasförmigen Verbindung mit Hilfe eines als Reduktionsmittel wirkenden Trägergases innerhalb eines mindestens teilweise durchsichtigen Reaktionsgefäßes aus Glas oder Quarz auf aus Silicium bestehenden Trägerstäben abgeschieden und die Temperatur des Reaktionsgefäßes während der Abscheidung zwischen etwa 300 und 8000C gehalten wird, nach Patent 1105 396. Es hat sich erwiesen, daß besonders bei größerem Gasdurchsatz unter Umständen die Zylinderwand bis unter die Mindesttemperatur abgekühlt werden kann. Dieser Nachteil wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch vermieden, daß das Reaktionsgasgemisch vor dem Eintritt in das Reaktionsgefäß vorgeheizt wird.The invention relates to a process for the production of high-purity silicon, which is suitable as a base material for electrical semiconductor devices, in which the silicon is converted from a gaseous compound by chemical conversion with the aid of a carrier gas acting as a reducing agent inside an at least partially transparent reaction vessel made of glass or quartz to silicon Existing support rods deposited and the temperature of the reaction vessel is kept between about 300 and 800 0 C during the deposition, according to patent 1105 396. It has been shown that, especially with a larger gas throughput, the cylinder wall can be cooled to below the minimum temperature under certain circumstances. According to the invention, this disadvantage is avoided in that the reaction gas mixture is preheated before it enters the reaction vessel.

Natürlich darf die Vorheizung nicht so stark sein, daß etwa die obere Grenze des erwähnten Temperaturbereiches überschritten wird.Of course, the preheating must not be so strong that about the upper limit of the temperature range mentioned is exceeded.

Die aus dem Reaktionsgefäß austretenden heißen Restgase können mittels eines Wärmeaustauschers zur Vorheizung des zugeführten Reaktionsgasgemisches verwendet werden. Die Vorheizung kann in einfacher Weise dadurch ausgeführt werden, daß das Zuleitungsrohr für das Reaktionsgemisch über eine ausreichende Länge durch das Austrittsrohr der heißen Restgase dem Reaktionsgefäß zugeführt wird. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Gaszuleitungsrohr zur besseren Wärmeübertragung vorteilhaft aus einem gut wärmeleitenden Material, beispielsweise Silber oder Kupfer, hergestellt. Das Gasaustrittsrohr wird gegen Wärmeabstrahlung nach außen isoliert.The hot residual gases emerging from the reaction vessel can be used by means of a heat exchanger Preheating of the supplied reaction gas mixture can be used. Preheating can be done in a simpler way Way are carried out in that the feed pipe for the reaction mixture has a sufficient Length through the outlet pipe of the hot residual gases is fed to the reaction vessel. To this The purpose of the gas supply pipe for better heat transfer is advantageously made of a pipe that conducts heat well Material, for example silver or copper, produced. The gas outlet pipe is against heat radiation insulated from the outside.

Das Gasgemisch kann ferner dadurch vorgeheizt werden, daß das Gaszuleitungsrohr vor dem Reaktionsgefäß über eine ausreichende Länge elektrisch geheizt oder durch einen Ofen geführt wird.The gas mixture can also be preheated by placing the gas feed pipe in front of the reaction vessel Is heated electrically over a sufficient length or passed through an oven.

Eine Anordnung, mit der das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in einfacher Weise durchgeführt werden kann, ist in der Figur veranschaulicht. Der erforderliche Wasserstoff wird einer Gasflasche 1 über ein Absperrventil 2 und ein mehrstufiges Reduzierventil 3 sowie einem Gasdurchflußmesser 4 entnommen und der Gasverdampferanlage 5 zugeführt. Dort mischt er sich mit dem verdampften Reaktionsgas und wird dann durch das Gaszuleitungsrohr 6 über eine Düse 7, die eine trubulente Strömung erzeugt, zu den mit Verfahren zur Herstellung von ReinstsiliciumAn arrangement with which the method according to the invention can be carried out in a simple manner is illustrated in the figure. The required hydrogen is taken from a gas cylinder 1 via a shut-off valve 2 and a multi-stage reducing valve 3 as well as a gas flow meter 4 and fed to the gas evaporation system 5. There it mixes with the vaporized reaction gas and is then passed through the gas feed pipe 6 via a nozzle 7, which generates a turbulent flow, to the process for the production of hyperpure silicon
